[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very good to hear a PP admitting that a lot of outside support (with a price to be paid in time, energy and money) is necessary to make YY worth it in the upper grades for a family that doesn't speak Chinese at home.

One grows tired of the "no need to supplement" palaver and potshots at native speakers who challenge parents looking at immersion through rose-colored glasses on DCUM.[/quote]

Lol she did not word it any where near the way you did. Y’all are something else[/quote]

No, y'all are something else, with your kids' phenomenally bad spoken Mandarin (which you think rocks) all the way to 8th grade at DCI. [/quote]

Cool!  Because that's still better Mandarin than any other school in the entire DC area teaches!  BY FAR.  Woot!![/quote]

What is your basis for arguing this?  It's total BS. The two MoCo ES immersion programs enroll many native speakers of various dialects.  Those kids help keep standards for speaking and understanding high for the rest.[/quote]

First of all, they're in the suburbs, so that's a huge strike against them.  Second of all, what grade do they go to?  Because anything less than HS isn't interesting.[/quote]

You haven't read a few posts back.  It was explained that the 2 MoCo Mandarin immersion programs (which run through 5th grade), feed into a partial immersion program at Herbert Hoover MS.  After Herbert Hoover, the kids go on to Rockville HS by right, where Standard Level IB Diploma and AP Chinese are taught.  They can also apply to Richard Montgomery HS where Higher Level IBD Chinese is taught (two years past AP).  The MoCo ES programs are small school-within-a-school programs where native speakers can backfill openings created by attrition.

There isn't just one PP here who knows about the MoCo programs (we left YY for the Potomac ES program).  I don't know the person who left YY for College Gardens ES.[/quote]
